Questions to raise early about checks, insurance, accessibility and booking from overseas.
Can you arrange checks or role-specific qualifications?
Tell us exactly what the activity involves and any organiser requirements before booking. Additional checks or qualifications need to be confirmed for the role.
Do not assume every event worker has the same certificates or that general event experience covers a specialist task. Share the required evidence and deadline, including any safeguarding, security or food-handling requirements, so suitability can be reviewed.
Ask the booking team for the current documents relevant to your booking and your organiser’s requirements.
Share any requested policy type, limit, named-party requirement and submission deadline. Check the actual documents rather than treating a general website statement as confirmation that a particular activity is covered.
Can we plan for accessibility and visitor support?
Yes, explain the visitor journey and the support you want staff to provide. Agree the duties, preparation and escalation route.
Share accessible entrances, seating, quiet spaces and the venue’s assistance arrangements. Avoid asking staff to improvise specialist assistance outside their agreed role. A clear handover to the right venue contact is part of a helpful welcome.
Start with an email enquiry. Include your country, time zone, event venue and dates in UK local time.
You do not need a UK telephone number to request a quotation. Share language requirements, billing details and your on-site contact early. Our international exhibitors page covers planning at NEC, ExCeL, Olympia, Manchester Central and SEC Glasgow.
Yes, set out each location and shift separately so the requirements can be reviewed as one project.
Use a shared brand brief plus a local sheet for each venue. Distinguish the core roles from local access and travel requirements, and identify who approves changes at each site. Consistency comes from clear preparation as well as repeat personnel.
